Remember The 90’s? Newstalgia with Netflix
Wait, there’s no way the 90’s was that long ago! Didn’t I just graduate high school? Oh that’s right, it was 20 years ago! TWENTY! Ok, think back to the 90’s and how awesome things where.

Later this month I’ll be driving over the mountains and heading to Kelowna, BC to attend a brand new conference called Roam. I prefer to call Roam the un-conference actually.

I Am A Liar
I am a liar. That is probably the most truth you’ll read in this entire post. It’s shocking to me how many times in a day I’ll tell myself a little lie just to get me thru the day. It’s a bit of an addiction at this point. I decided to write some of them down and confess them to … Continue reading
